 This being the long session and on the eve of Q presidential campaign year, many important subjects will be brought up, much discussed, and since history is expected to repeat itself, many bills will be laid over for action by future sessions. With the vacancies in the house of representatives all filled that body seems to stand thus: Demo crats, l67; Republicans, l54; Inde- pendents and Labor Men, 4. The senate consists of Republicans, 30; Democrats, 37. This estimate for the latter body is based on the assumption that Riddleborger will continue to vote with the Republicans. If he goes ov- CT to the Democracy, the senate will be tied. In very few congresses have the parties been so evenly balanced as they will be in the Fiftieth Congress.

IT is claimed that the cost of the re cent elections in New York City, was one million dollars. There were seventy, six offices to be filled exclusive of the State ticket, and fJf these offices there were 333 candidates.
 The office of district attorneyi is said to have cost that incumbent and his friends s75,000 to elect him. There must surely be some very fat pickings in some of the city offices in New York, according to the snm 1t takes to elect a person to office.

Cost OF Starnre.


A good many farmers put their wheat into
elevators and borrow money upon It without
estimating the cost as compared with the price
OF each bushel. For instance, IL Mr.. A reflected
when be put his crop of 5000 bushels in store
that when the time came for selling hs would
have some 900 bushels less to sell than the
amount originally delivered, he might hesitate
some time before committing 10 inexcusabls
an act OF folly. You may not think there 10 70
large shrinkage, but 1t Is easy enough to tig-
ure the matter out for yourself. Wheat Is now
selling for, say 56 cents:
Interest on bushel months IL per cent, O.03
storage "" 0.O8
Total cost Of storage, months, oil
This Is slightly moro than one hfth tho value
Of each busheI and il itcosts ono lifth the value
OF each bushel to store wheat tho total loss On
the storage Of 5000 would be little over 600
bushels. To carry the comparison little
further, suppose the amount stored was the
product Of 16O acres Of land, which IL about
the not acreage Of a quarter section Of land.
Then each quarter section farmer will raise 30
acres Of wheat each year to pay for storage;
and the man owing section fully 120 acres.
This is terrible loss and ono which no coun.
try can afford. Besides tho immediate and d.
rect loss in storing wheat the farmers of d.
kota loose largely in price each year on account
Of large quantities thrown on the market at
one time. OF course tho cost Is greatly lessened
when farmers have their own granaries.-
